PR Start by Nick Lucido

Sometimes, I forget I’m still a student. The next month is one of those times. I’ll be attending and speaking at some upcoming PRSSA events in Chicago, Pittsburgh, East Lansing, Mich. and Austin. My posts might few and far between this month in trying to keep up with these events, my school work and other [...]

The past couple of weeks have been pretty hectic as I’ve been prepping for the PRSSA National Conference in San Diego. I fly out tomorrow and will be there for the next week. Yep, I’m missing that much class to join 1,000 other PRSSA members for a couple of days of professional development, workshops and [...]

Though it sounds brash, I think it’s the wrong mindset to “officially” start the job search. Sure, you can sit down and think, apply for things and make a plan. But let me ask you a question: Shouldn’t you always be on the job search? In some fields, “starting” a job search is the traditional way [...]

Below is a guest post from Sarah Siewert, an MSU alumna who is now one year out of college. She is a PR professional working for the Michigan Fitness Foundation, programming chair for the PRSA New Professionals section and board member for CMPRSA. Yes, she is pretty awesome. Make sure to check out her blog [...]

I’m writing a four-part blog post on how to have a successful collegiate career for those interested in public relations. I’m basing this largely off my own experiences (a lot of what I’m including reflects what I wish I would have done during college, particularly in my early years) and those in my network.

It’s career fair season. MSU PRSSA is hosting our second annual PR Links event – a career fair and reception for members and professionals to connect with each other. Not only is this a great way to find jobs and internships, but this is awesome practice for future public relations professionals. Keep in mind that [...]

A couple of weeks ago, Rachel Esterline sent out an idea on Twitter she had about a PR book club. I’ll be quite honest – I need to read more books. I read books for class (most of the time), subscribe to way too much on Google Reader to feed my news junkiness and make [...]

Back in my freshmen year, I served on our PRSSA Chapter’s committee to host a regional activity. This was the first event (of many) that triggered my passion for the public relations industry. We had some great sessions and I learned a lot. But if I can remember anything, it was Rhoda Weiss’ keynote address [...]

This past weekend, I had the privilege of attending the PRSSA National Conference in Detroit. Growing up in the the suburbs of the city, I was proud and excited for the conference to be in my backyard. Even more exciting was the energy and zest PRSSA and PRSA members brought to the city.
